For those who can afford it, this plunge router from Festool is a versatile tool that has a number of good accessories
For those who can afford it, this small plunge router is a versatile tool that has a number of good (and expensive) accessories, making cabinetwork in the field much easier. It has an offset base and a good spring-to-weight ratio that makes it easy to plunge one-handed. The twist knob in front is the plunge lock, which works well because the router is so small. The trigger-power switch has a push-button lock that’s easy to operate. The integral dust port is one of the best, and the depth rod has a three-stop turret with a precise microadjustment. Template guides and edge-cutting and hole-drilling kits are available to make joining, circle cuts, and patterned boring an everyday function of this router.
